Who's the Richest Man in Your Town?

Years ago I sat for breakfast in a neat little bagel joint in New York and the young man sitting across me was telling how he decided he would become a doctor👨‍⚕️. The best doctor. Because he wanted to know how the body works and he would give back to the community that gave to him.

We enjoyed our toasted bagels and fine coffee ☕ surrounded by the beautiful decor of Bunch-o-Bagels. While we dined Menachem asked me if I had read the Richest Man in Babylon. No, I hadn't. I was intrigued, what could the richest man of any town teach me.

We bade farewell. He went off to medical school ⚕️🏫, and I, to the Brooklyn Public Library to see what The Richest Man in Babylon had to tell.

He spoke of camel 🐫 traders, brick-layers, money lenders💱, and of heavy, bulging purses💰, gangling with the sound of golden coins. But more importantly he spoke of the 5 rules of gold. How to obtain it, how to keep it, how to make it grow and how to make sure you don't squander it.

He spoke of the seven cures for a lean purse:

1. Start thy purse to fattening. ...
2. Control thy expenditures. ...
3. Make thy gold multiply. ...
4. Guard thy treasures from loss. ...
5. Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment. ...
6. Ensure a future income. ...
7. Increase thy ability to earn.

Want to start fattening your own purse? Find for yourself a local mentor knowledgeable in the ways of collecting and multiplying gold. Or at least learn from the richest man in ancient Babylon.

No Mess Oil Change, will you do it?

Will this new cheap gadget get you to change your car's oil yourself?

It's easy as replacing the oil drain bolt once and you never have to worry about drips, leaks, or stripping the bolt again.

Does your facility give CIP?

Don't like how you get paid? Take it to the streets with a vanity license plate. Most states allow you to get a personalized plate for a small fee ($10 in Virginia). Some states like Pennsylvania charge outrageous amounts $79-182 depending on the style. 

One fellow doesn't like that his Air Traffic Control facility doesn't have a CIP or controller incentive pay and took to the streets to complain.

Introducing the AntiCIP vanity license plate.

It appears the driver still gets a decent paycheck though as the plate is on a luxury Infinity G35 sedan.
